[internationalism]

is ambassador asking for vax for expats done in the embassy?

or prayuth asking for a large donation to the vax program, similar what the australian government gave a few days ago? Or vax donation, as china did with 500k sinovac, which will be partly distributed to brits?

But nicely painted.

 

In a society obsessed with status, appearances are the epistemological underpinning.

[xtof2]

Some say that there are pictures of the Ambassador hilarious with tears of laughter when reporting to his colleagues Uncle Tu's views on economic opportunities !

[RobMuir]

I wonder if he thanked the British Ambassador for the B1.1.7 strain which is making up 98% of cases in Thailand currently?

 

[colinneil]

At least the so called ambassador managed a suit and tie this time, but brown shoes with a blue suit, good gawd how standards have dropped, ambassadors used to be properly dressed, not now.

[CharlieH]

Thought only women sat with their ankles crossed, hands clasped like that, channeling Lady Di ?

 

Yet another pose for the cameras with probably sod all actually achieved.

Perhaps his husband said, "You're going where wearing those shoes?"

"To visit the Thai prime minister."

"Oh, that's OK then. He has no idea either."

I would expect so, they've done nothing but kiss Chinas ass since the virus emerged.

The 3 million Ozzie donated already carved up and property portfolios topped up.

Bloody hell, the hard of thinking are out in force today, for your information the UK strain was named after the place it was first recognised due to the Stirling work carried out in the UK at the forefront of science

A bit odd to see the phrase 'British Ambassador' and 'kiss Chinas ass' together here.

#thickasfu...

In the UK it is known as the "Kent Strain"

 

The scientists did a good job back tracing it to there and it is now beyond any reasonable doubt that it mutated there in September of 2020.

 

You wouldn't be from the UK by any chance would you?

 

 

 

 

[pixelaoffy]

So on the day I went to a private hospital , Bangkok Christian ' and it was taking registration for covid vaccine  but I was told that Government says private hospitals cannot let foreigners register yet ! Mr Davison needs to get his out out his ass and speak some home truths!  Unbelievable meeting

Kent isn't that the closest English county to mainland Europe excluding the Channel Islands? 

 

Kent had/has been receiving a massive influx of illegal immigrants from mainland Europe throughout the pandemic and since long before

 

I have no idea if it is beyond reasonable doubt that a virus that that emerged from China did indeed mutate in England or not but virus' do mutate so it's possible

 

I am very proud of the scientific advances that the UK has made in fighting the global pandemic and I truly believe that they have saved many lives through their endeavour 

 

You are correct I am indeed a proud Englishman

I realised that the B117 variant was highly contagious.

 

But I didn't realise that it could jump across the sea like that.

 

You had better go and let your scientists know.

Aaahh, I see I am conversing with an expert on virology so will have to bow to your knowledge but as a layman it does appear to have managed to jump across many oceans all the way from China...

Yes.

So the Kent B117 strain didn't originate in the UK?

But you are sure the original originated in China?

 

Being a bit selective I see.

Everybody  knows it came from Farangland just ask any Thais, ask any Chinese and it came from frozen food.

It is widely reported as the "UK strain" in Thai news daily.

 

The Thais are really struggling with it now. 

 

More than twice as many have died from B117 in the last six weeks than the previous 15 months.

Still not even close to the horrific numbers that came out of the UK from it.

 

Let's hope it fades soon.

Not selective at all it is common knowledge that Covid 19 originated in China and most consensus is that the pandemic started in Wuhan specifically the wet market, there you go...

Did Thailand thank UK for vaccinating EVERYONE in England INCLUDING ALL THAIS for free?
